Several reasons for lifelong learning

Lifelong learning time "LLL" called, is the constant, dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge in the course of our lives, no matter the field or the intensity of learning.

We deal with continuing education for various reasons: to our professional training to upgrade their skills, to pursue higher education for career advancement forSwitch careers and go into a completely different field, such as the current economic situation is forcing many people to do, to keep our mind sharp so as to ward off dementia and other physical weaknesses that come with aging.

My favorite tunes for LLL, however, have about the life and the people connected with the best reason of all for learning: it is a source of joy and fulfillment.

Our global networked society has filled our lives with so much diversity in all arenas:social, economic, political, artistic. What changes our daily life to know quickly purposes. On a simple level, think, alerting the doctors have given us over the years through our diet: caffeine is bad, but now is good, alcohol is bad, but wine in moderation is fine now, chocolate is bad, but dark chocolate is now good for the heart.

Doctors contradict each other, as more and more knowledge through research and new technologies, flooding our airwaves, libraries, news,Newspapers and a pilot's extraordinary need for Internet LLL! Just know what to consume foods and beverages and to avoid requiring that we constantly learn new revelations.
